Maca root, (a rare member of the radish family) is a herb that grows just below the glaciated slopes of the Peruvian Andes. Rich in nutritional potassium and higher levels of calcium than milk, maca is a natural hormone balancer which provides great health benefits for both men and women.

Maca was first used by the Incas more than 3000 years ago for energy and endurance and is still traded as a medicine and energy giving herb throughout the towns and villages of Peru today. When the Spanish arrived to Peru in 1533, these little plants were hidden away and remained on the brink edge of extinction for centuries. Today's dedication by the Peruvian goverment with the over seing and cultivating of Maca root, it's no longer considered the "lost herb" The medical journal "Urology" that first published the Viagra ® study, also published, in the April 2000 issue a study confirming the sex-enhancing effects of Maca. This is very significant for a major medical journal to publish findings on a sex-enhancing herb. Maca's ability to act as an aphrodisiac is becoming well known worldwide. Many South Americans compare Maca with Viagra ® Maca of course is not Viagra , but it does nurture the hormonal system in both men and women giving a person's body a natural hormonal balance.

Maca recently has been studied in the United States for sexual functions, research has shown that a man's sperm count and semen volume have increased as high as 200% over a 21 day test. For Women alike, a study showed that Maca has increased the ovarian function in women giving an alternative to fertility pills prescribed by doctors.
